PREPARATION AND REVIEW BOOKLET
This booklet is designed to help you prepare for your English, Mathematics and/or Science Skills
Assessment.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Get a good night’s sleep before the test and arrive early for the testing session.
2. Don’t let the thought of taking a test make you too nervous. Rest assured a little
nervousness is natural and even helpful.
3. Be on time! This will give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the test room
and calm the butterflies!
4. Listen carefully and follow directions.
5. Ask questions if anything is unclear. The test administrator is there for that purpose.
6. The tests are multiple choice. You will be required to choose the best answer to a
question from several choices. You may mark an answer even if you are not perfectly
sure it is right.
7. If one question is too hard, leave it and go on to the next. You can always come back and
try it again if there is time.
8. If you come to a section in the test that you cannot do, don’t give up. There may be parts
of the test which are easier for you. Keep working.
9. Work steadily, and complete as many questions as you can.
If you are an applicant with special needs (eg. Physically disabled, blind or visually impaired,
deaf or hard of hearing) and require some form of test accommodation, please contact the
DISABILITY SERVICES OFFICE at (519) 748-5220, Ext. 3232. This office is located at our
Doon Campus.
